What's the psychological reason why a man might be attracted to a woman with muscles?

I like my woman w/ curves and many FBBs meet those requirements; it’s that simple

> I agree. I don't think there are any specific reasons. Everyone has a different reason or trigger. Mine was feeling the very big and hard bicep of a female relative that made me become attracted to muscles on a female and she was gorgeous to boot.

What are you actually denying when you say that there aren't any specific reasons? What would be a specific reason?

No. Everyone does not have a different reason. There's a lot in common between everyone's reasons.

One thing everyone should especially realize is that the trigger is not the cause. The trigger is the thing that cemented the final connection. You can't trigger something that isn't there. As little as you can light a fuse to an explosive that isn't there.

What if you had felt her breasts? Would you be writing now on girlswithtits instead?

TLDR;

its all different. for me its the confidence it gives woman and shape and the fact that fat to me is a turn off. even a little muscle is awesome

Humans need at least some amount of fat to survive.

I wanna make it simple and clear from my perspective:

1, Acceptance. A great woman with muscle let you enjoy them but not attack you, which gives me a feeling that I'm into her greatness but not defensive. I think that's the main reason why I accept muscular woman in my heart but not hate them like some people.

2, Outstanding. Max Weber wrote it in 'The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism' that when vocation bound with the pursuit of wealth and became not that sacred, it has the characteristics of sports competition. In short, muscle means success, muscle means winner.

3, Sex and organsm with muscle. Just think about it and I'm gonna keep my mouth shut. (organsm... flex automatically...) It would be much direct after 1 and 2.

zarklephaser4, really intriguing as usual, but I find there is something that doesn't match my case exactly, although I can feel there is some general "spot-on-ness" to it, to be succinct.

About this:

I know that it's not uncommon for some abusive and neglecting parents in a fit of anger to demand respect and quote that commandment, but always without the rationale. Falsely implying that some people should be respected purely for the sake of themselves, instead of some recognizable thing they have done that deserves it.

Well in the case of my parents, they always called the things we, their children, should be grateful for.

The problem is when respect is demanded for their individual selves regardless of anything that might help you live long and prosper if you emulated it.

So in their narrative they provided us with the means to live long and prosper. I got it, I would imagine that my parents premise was just something they made up, so as it is artificial, it is similar to pretend respect just because.

They did shitty thing but also good and caring things, so they deserve respect for some and not so much for others, but eitherway they constructed a full respect toll of sorts, and I guess that might fit into your narrative. But there is some degree to all of it, and they provided some "proof" (also "bad proof" of being abused and son on).

The single most defining characteristic of a dysfunctional human relationship is lack of accountability.

I think splitting has a lot to do with many things.

Also with bananas.

It's possible that some people instinctively see muscular women as trauma therapists.

due to society once being matriarchal...

Except that there has never been such a society.

Psychological reasons? I have no idea. But once you've thrown a fit, athletic and somewhat muscular woman around your bed, you can never go back. (I've had mine for over 45 years and she's still a muscle-chick.)

I think the Powerpuff Girls fucked me up in the head when I was 2. My mom told me I used to watch them all the time as a toddler. I remember thinking our principal from kindergarden had nice arms and I was like 4. I also remember asking my grandpa around the same age if a woman could beat a man. When we were in kindergarden we were forced to sleep at noon and I even remember the first day I started making up weird scenarios in my head instead of sleeping. So yeah, I think I was born this way.

...Toxic masculinity...

Oh, god, please. There is no such thing. It's a made-up term designed to disparage boys and men and paint them as problems that need to be fixed and/or criminalized.

It's the equivalent of when women used to be diagnosed as "hysterical".

I think concepts should be allowed to stand or fall on their own merits.

You lucky bastard

You lucky bastard

Yes sir. I am.

Very lucky indeed

Yes sir. I am.

No idea what I was saying here.

Neither here.

An addition to the previous one. More nothing.

A bit of a summary of this discussion. More nothing.
